Tango Eternal While dancing the tango, your body comes alive.

Full of energy you respond to the sensual rhythm of the music as you move

Tango Eternal In the Rio de la Plata The sun dives like a gigantic plate from the purple sky.

The moon rises white, luminous, promising.

Oleander blossoms scent the warm breeze , Dark curls sway enticingly in the balmy air And white teeth flash a sneaky grin.

But the music, the demanding beat of the music fast and slow invites us.....

I was so very young then.

The rhythms invite me, His smile excites me, Our bodies move deliciously as one.

His warm breath fans my cheek, His warm arms take me into the dance.

He holds me close, his hard body next to mine.

Tango, tango –slow,slow and fast he moves me.

The water sings its own lapping song, Cicadas loud in chorus, Scent of cigars, oleander, The soft rustle of the palms...

I was so very young then...

Te quiero mi amor He leads me away from the dance floor, into the night And a 14year old waiter Blinks helplessly, through dark , round spectacles As he mixes another mate.

Vanessa Garside, United Kingdom Poem , 2023

Tango Eternal Tango is passion of embrace.

Tango is movement of pirouette and silhouette.

Tango is devoted moment of two bodies in a whirlwind of desire and commitment.

Tango is love and jealousy in a spiral of existence.

Tango is a leading man And an impassioned, burning woman, telling the story of their lives, all the pain and all the joy.

Tango eternal for eternal love

Jadranka Gros, Austria Poem , 2023
